Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand CASETiFY has become globally popular for their smartphone cases and Apple Watch bands. Celebrities and influencers around Japan and abroad have caused an explosion of interest around the world, and now, the first East Japan CASETiFY shop, named CASETiFY STUDIO, is set to open in Shibuya PARCO on September 10, 2021.
The new CASETiFY STUDIO won’t only allow customers to create CASETiFY’s signature custom cases on the spot, but will also offer a variety of popular print designs and an oversized LED screen. To commemorate the opening of the store, the Yu Nagaba x CASETiFY Collection, which launched and subsequently sold out in 2020, will return exclusively to Shibuya PARCO.
Products at CASETiFY aren’t only for the newest phones. There’s something for everyone, including drop-proof cases, ultra-protective cases, water bottles, and AirPods cases in new colors. After opening, a number of new collaborations and cases for the newest iPhone will be available as well, so keep an eye out!
A special display within the store will allow customers to experience first-hand the sustainability of all CASETiFY products, with many being compostable and biodegradable. A new three-layer protective mask will also be available, which uses recycled materials for its packaging.
The Shibuya PARCO location will follow in the footsteps of the LUCUA Osaka store, by implementing the RECASETiFY initiative. This aims to reduce plastic waste by transforming used cases into new products. Those who return cases to the store will receive 15 percent off their next purchase.
What kind of case would you like to create at this new location?

A three-day exhibition of XR NFT art created by Japanese artists was recently held at Shibuya PARCO from October 15 until October 17. A hands-on booth was set up on the first floor of Shibuya PARCO’s Nakashibu-dori where visitors could freely view the world on display and take a hands-on tour. The exhibition marked the triumphant return to Japan of the city-linked XR NFT art exhibition originally held by Psychic VR Lab at NFT NYC, the world’s largest NFT event held from June 20 to June 23. Seven Japanese artists decorated New York Times Square during the event, and the recent event in Shibuya featured works by three of these artists.
On October 15, Psychic VR Lab opened Shibuya Scramble Layer, an XR-ization of the famous Tokyo landmark, using its real metaverse platform STYLY. PARCO provided support for this initiative, which aims to open the metaverse to the city and enhance the experience value of Tokyo itself. Together, the two will work together to create new attractions for visitors to the capital to enjoy. Information
